What owners wrote
My car began pulling strongly to the left at various speeds. I contacted the dealership and arranged to have them look at it. Our dealership first suggested a roadforce balance and wheel alignment and wanted to charge us $250. Since the car had recently been to them for service including tire balancing and rotation, I pushed back and refused this suggested remedy. I had read online how people were experiencing this "pulling" problem. It does make your arms tired fighting to stay on the road.
The front coil spring fractured while I was driving on a city street and came into contact with my tire. The coil started to rub against my tire until it was punctured. I think this may relate to the recall for the 2011 elantra (15v629000).
